All of Mr Jonathan Buckley’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not flagged, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I thank the Member for giving way. He talks about issues that are more important. At the moment, a cliff edge for veterinary and pet medicines is impending because of the obstinacy of the European Union. Should we not be talking about that issue today, rather than fantasy school politics?
I thank the Member for giving way. Would he suggest that his party's position of rigorous implementation of the protocol was in the best interests of the people of Northern Ireland?
Today's motion is but yet another attempt to rewrite the Brexit referendum. It is as if Christmas has come early for the European Union. The motion is a present that is wrapped in sparkling Sinn Féin wrapping paper, because it is viewed through the lens of a united Ireland and through the lens of majoritarianism. It…
FlaggedConstitutional question, Brexit, the Windsor Framework and sovereigntyCriteria met: Identity framing.
On 16 April 2025, For Women Scotland secured a landmark victory for common sense and for women across the United Kingdom. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the word "woman" in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex and does not include men who self-identify as women. It concluded that basic terms such…

To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to detail whether the official car allocated to junior Minister Reilly was used to take her to, or from, the Irish language event hosted by Glór na Móna to mark its 20th anniversary, at Belfast City Hall, on Saturday 19 October 2024.
To ask the Minister of Justice to outline any information her Department holds on the cross-border illegal immigration offences detected and prosecuted in the last 12 months.
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on his Department's actions in combating bovine TB levels in the last 12 months.
Thank you, Principal Deputy Speaker. Who would have thought that a debate on challenging the harm posed by the Windsor framework would cause such a debate or lack of it in some instances? It is fair to say that a lot of political parties have been on a journey when it comes to the Windsor framework. I genuinely…
Invest NI is crucial to ensuring that our businesses reach their full potential right across the world. With that in mind, the Minister will be aware that, recently, Invest NI talked about the importance of the defence sector to the Northern Ireland economy, representing some 10,000 jobs and £2 billion in output. Does…
When addressing business and trade matters, the First Minister indicated that there were talks around the UK-US and the EU-US trade deals. The First Minister will be aware that President Trump issued significantly higher tariffs on EU exports than on UK exports. As First Minister for Northern Ireland, did you advocate…
At the outset, on behalf of the Democratic Unionist Party, I convey our deepest sympathies to the families who lost loved ones just outside Dundalk on Saturday. The pain and grief that those families and school communities are facing at the moment must be unbearable. "Illegal immigration is tearing the UK apart" and:…

To ask the Minister of Education to detail the number of meetings with (i) external individuals, (ii) groups; or (iii) organisations, that have been (a) held; (b) postponed; (c) cancelled; or (d) rescheduled, in each month since January 2025.
In a moment. I do not think that I will have an extra minute, because I am winding up. This motion, when amended, shows those of a British identity and those of an Irish identity working together to show Keir Starmer and the Labour Government that digital IDs will not stand in Northern Ireland, England, Scotland or…
Thank you, Mr Speaker. This debate gives me much joy and much hope, for two reasons. First, if I were to close my eyes in the Chamber, I would almost think that every party had found its inner Paul Frew. Let freedom ring; liberty for all. It truly is breathtaking and shows such a journey from some difficult and dark…
Given the ongoing delays in the upgrade of the Kinnegar waste water treatment plant, will the Minister's discussions with the Infrastructure Minister include aspects of the living with water programme and, indeed, how that programme will improve water quality? Is there a risk that the Northern Ireland Environment…
Absolutely. When we come to a time when it is deemed that a Minister has breached the ministerial code — say, via a court ruling, rather than by a pan-nationalist kangaroo court — what will be the position of those parties? If we want to talk purely about confidence in Ministers, the Executive and indeed previous…

Today's pantomime confidence vote is nearing its final act, but, in case anybody has not been listening, let me issue a spoiler alert: the only resignation that there will be today is at the BBC for apparent breaches of impartiality. I have stated continually in the House that everybody is entitled to a different…
To ask the Minister of Justice to detail (i) the number of meetings she has had with external groups; and (ii) the number of meetings (a) postponed; (b) cancelled; and (ii) rescheduled, with external groups, broken down by month, since January 2025.
